IRGC Vows to Assassinate Israeli PM Netanyahu
The IRGC has issued a formal death threat against PM Netanyahu, vowing to "pursue and kill" him. The move comes as U.S.-Israeli strikes hit key Iranian sites.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a direct threat against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, vowing to "pursue and kill" him as the U.S.-Israel-Iran war enters its third week, according to a statement published on the IRGC's official website, Sepah News, and reported by AFP.
The IRGC referred to Netanyahu as a "child-killing criminal," stating: "If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force."
The threat follows recent intensifications in the conflict, including U.S. airstrikes on Iran's Kharg Island military infrastructure and Israeli operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Iranian officials have repeatedly framed such rhetoric as retaliation for perceived aggressions.
Israeli officials have not issued a public response to the specific vow, though Netanyahu's security measures have been heightened since the war began. No immediate actions linked to the threat have been reported.
